Why Choose the Classic Beanie?
The Arc'teryx Classic Beanie 4307 is one of my favorite pieces from this brand! It looks amazing and keeps me warm and comfortable. It's made from a merino wool-acrylic blend that's breathable and offers odor resistance, making it a great option for both hiking and casual wear. It's a mediumweight and almost always makes it into my carry-on luggage. It has a classic knit design, with a stretchy cuff and a tastefully embroidered bird word logo.
It is extremely durable; the beanie in the image above, from 2012, still looks amazing after 13 years of use. The bottom half of the beanie features a Polartec fleece inner headband that significantly enhances my comfort and warmth.
Arc'teryx started releasing beanies on the market in the early 2000s, and the Classic Beanie was one of those early releases. In. In 2003, the design was called "Classic Beanie" available in two colors, black and pewter, and the material was described as being "Non-itch and Accrylic". The bird word logo on the front is very similar, but it was a four-dart build. Have a look at the 2003 and 2004 versions.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Classic Beanie
This Arc'teryx beanie is a showstopper and holds a special place in my heart, so I only wear it on special occasions HAHA.
- Hiking and Casual: On chilly hikes, it breathes well and stays dry even in damp conditions. Around town, it pairs with anything. I love the fit of this beanie; it hugs my head just perfectly. I like close-fitting beanies, and this one nails it perfectly with the six-dart build. I have a small head, and in my experience, every beanie from this brand with a six dart will sit on my head perfectly.
